The Water Project

Thank you all so much for the support towards the Water Project! We have raised Rs 10 lakhs. Contributions over this will be used for the running of the Home, specifically going towards the food needs of the inhabitants. Raja feeds 720 people three times a day. The food expenses of the Home come to over Rs 11 lakhs per month.

Help the Home of Hope support it's inhabitants!

The mission has another property located near a lake, and had already commenced digging a borewell but unfortunately had to stop at a depth of 400 feet because of lack of funds. This re-digging of the borewell should be able to sustain his desire of accommodating 1000 people in the near future.

His immediate need of the hour is to restart the digging of the borewell that would help the Homeless Shelter with water.

Due to the consecutive long weekends and also due to non-availability of parties from both sides, the commencement of work had to be delayed.

The lawyer reverted on 14th August and currently he's awaiting a set documents from New Ark Mission before he gives his legal clearance.

I've been told by T. Raja that a few documents have been pending at government agencies since the past 6 months and it may take a longer period of time especially with the current delays due to elections etc. I will discuss with him and make an informed decision on how to proceed.

*Interim we've identified another property closer to HOH and will evaluate borewell options there as well.

The contractor has visited the 1st site twice to gauge prospective execution. One of the subsequent visits had to be postponed because of the rains and non-accessibility by two wheeler.

A geologist has been engaged for this project and he would be making a site visit the next week. The project should start immediately after that.
